Case Reports[Chylothorax. An infrequent complication in surgical exeresis of the esophagus].
We report a case of massive bilateral chylothorax occurring after surgical resection of the esophagus in a patient with esophageal neoplasm. The surgical approach consisted of a thoracotomy and a cervicostomy. The relevance of this case is based on the low incidence of chylothorax after esophageal surgery. ⋯ During the first 24 hours we collected a total volume of 2,500 ml of chyle. The patient was treated with conservative procedures including parenteral nutrition and intravenous reposition of fluids. After 48 hours the total volume of chyle reached 8,500 ml and the patient died.
